Description

I am a classically trained soprano who has performed at some of the UK's top venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall and Birmingham Symphony Hall, working with world-renowned orchestras and conductors, including Sir Andrew Davies, Gianandrea Noseda, and Paul Daniel.
I sing at many kinds of events including concerts, festivals, galas, and private events like weddings and funerals. My wide repertoire includes classical and operatic pieces, but I'm always open to singing songs from other genres as well. With my extensive knowledge of performing at events and my passion for co ... mmunicating through music, you can rest assured that you will have a seamless and unforgettable experience when you hire me.
I have also recorded at studios such as Abbey Road and Maida Vale with groups such as the BBC Singers, London Voices and Vocals Unlimited, and I now have my own recording studio and enjoy collaborating with clients from all over the world, bringing their musical visions to life.
My formal biography below showcases my rich background in opera, concert performances, and session singing, including collaborations with well-known vocal coaches and artists. Read More

Biography

I'm a professional opera singer with a passion for music that started when I graduated from Durham University with a degree in composition. Over the years, I've had the honor of performing in some amazing productions, including the lead role of Tosca for Heritage Opera, Fiordiligi Cosi fan Tutte for Opera UK and Birmingham Chamber Orchestra, and Queen of the Night Die Zauberflöte for British Youth Opera and Surrey Opera.
In addition to my work in opera, I'm also an accomplished concert performer, having sung in some of the most prestigious venues around the world, including the Royal Alber ... t Hall and Royal Festival Hall. I've also had the privilege of performing with renowned orchestras and choirs, and my repertoire includes works by composers such as Brahms, Handel, Mozart, and Wagner.
As a session singer, I've had the pleasure of recording in famous studios such as Abbey Road and Maida Vale, working with groups like the BBC Singers and Vocals Unlimited. Nowadays, I run my own recording studio where I help clients from all over the world to bring their music to life, whether it's for film and TV soundtracks or new classical and contemporary works.
This year, I'm excited to be performing in several concerts, including Dvorak's Mass in D and Te Deum, Schubert's Mass in G, and Haydn's Kleine Orgelmesse. I'm also planning a recital of classic arias and some of my own compositions, which I can't wait to share with audiences. Read More
